Toxic Bosses Bad for Employee Health

Twelve hundred participants completed questionnaires related to their own psychological wellbeing, prevalence of bullying at their workplace, and their manager’s personality. Their responses revealed that those who work for leaders with psychopathic and narcissistic traits had lower job satisfaction and were also more likely to experience depressive symptoms. Furthermore, not only did employees’ wellbeing suffer, they were also more likely to engage in undesirable behaviors at work. British Psychological Society, January 2017
